Riveting gay mystery from one of genre's very best authors!, Dec 19 2011
By Bob Lind "camelwest" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder in the Irish Channel (Paperback)
Gay, New Orleans private investigator Chanse MacLeod is hired by a young cage fighter, in order to find his missing mother, a local activist battling the Catholic archdiocese that wants to close two local parish churches. As Chanse gets into the seemingly-simple missing person investigation, he finds possible dangerous links to greedy real estate developers, family secrets and battles, corrupt church officials, dishonest fight promoters, and an affair that could turn deadly. As seems to be his pattern in every case, he also discovers a possible witness has been murdered, which involves the N.O. police in the investigation.Herren is the master of great gay mystery novels, and this is no exception. Very well written and developed, riveting and featuring supporting characters you have to either love or hate. One of his best to date. Five stars out of five.

Love this series of books, Feb 23 2012
By Johnny G - Published on Amazon.com

Non-spoiler review: I have purchased each of Greg Herren's Murder... series books. I have never been to New Orleans, however I feel like I know it so well after reading these books. I think most of these books take place after Hurricane Katrina and show you how people are still dealing with it 7 years later. One of the things that I love about these books is the unique cast of characters in the books. I think there is a lot of Chanse MacLeod in all of us. He has a great group of friends and associates.The thing I love most is trying to figure out who did it. Greg takes you on a journey and several times as you read it you think you have it figured out, to later realized you don't. That is a great mystery book. I love it!!

Great Mystery!, Jan 6 2012

This review is from: Murder in the Irish Channel (Paperback)
I love Greg Herren and his home town of New Orleans. It is one of my favorite vacation spots and he peppers this book with a lot of familiar areas. The main character is gay but in this book his sexuality has nothing to do with the main story. Still it's nice to see a smart capable PI who just happens to be gay. The book is a quick and easy read. A nice respite from the daily grind. If you like New Orleans or ever consider going, read this. Lots of local culture and a good mystery that had me going completely in the wrong direction right until the end.
